The head of the U.N.'s atomic watchdog agency condemned a Ukrainian drone strike on the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine, warning of an increased risk of a major nuclear accident. Rafael Mariano Grossi confirmed at least three direct hits against the main reactor containment structures.
The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed physical impacts of drone attacks at the Zaporizhzhia plant, expressing concerns that the incident could potentially undermine the integrity of the reactor's containment system despite not compromising nuclear safety.
Russian state-owned nuclear agency Rosatom reported three people wounded in the drone attacks, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation, especially when a drone hit an area close to the plant's canteen.
